the context menu.

pane to display the context menu.
The context menu for displaying guides and page numbers.
1 Choose a color depth for the previews from the menu. Although all the
options are available, the preview is limited to the number of colors your
monitor can display.
The more colors you choose to display, the more memory the XTensions
software requires. The
Black & White option requires the least amount of
memory, while Millions of Colors requires the greatest.
2 Use the check boxes in the Preview area to determine whether page guides,
bleed guides, and page numbers display by default. Regardless of your prefer-
ence settings, you can use the context menu to toggle these on and off while
previewing printer flats.
• Check Page Guides to display nonprinting lines that frame the trim area of
each page.
• Check Bleed Guides to display nonprinting lines indicating the extent of the
bleed area of each page.
•
Check
Page Numbers to display the “section” page number of each page.
Section page numbers are assigned through the QuarkXPress
Section dialog
box (
Page menu).
